Below you will have access to the audio of an entire 44-minute keynote speech I gave recently in Redondo Beach, California on the topic of Presenting with Impact and Persuading with Ease.
Why is this important? Well, when I was new in the speaking industry, one of the most important processes I underwent was simply analyzing entire keynote speeches from other speakers. I looked for the following:
- How they opened their speeches
- The length of the opening
- How often they told a story
- The length of their stories
- How much time (if any) they had between their stories
- How they transitioned from one story to another
- How they uncovered humor
- How many laughs they would get
- How often they would get laughs
- How they closed their speech
- The length of the closing
- The tools they used to keep the audiences attention the entire time
- How they took us on a roller-coaster ride of emotions
- How they created an experience for their audiences
- Anything and everything that made the speech effective
